No lead pipes

The Municipal Health Services (GGD) in Haaglanden requested all childcare organisations to check if they have lead pipes in any of the childcare centres based in old buildings.

We arranged for an extra check together with our plumbers. This check showed that there are no lead pipes in any of our day nurseries/daycares and out of school care locations.

After 1960, lead pipes were no longer allowed for new buildings. We checked all locations that were built before 1962.

Do you live in an older house and would you like to check if your house has lead pipes? Please contact a plumber, your landlord or check them yourself.
This (Dutch) video by water provider Dunea gives some tips to do so.
